Everyone else went off to rest as well. Shangguan Qinxiu also returned to recover and stabilize her aura; she might even be able to begin breaking through to the Martial Master realm after the tournament concluded. Wang Yangtian was overcome with a mixture of emotions and muttered to himself, "I never expected to only place fifth in this tournament.
First, I ran into a freak whose magical treasure was completely useless against him, and then I crossed paths with a woman who has touched the threshold of fist intent. Sigh, I'm already thirty-four and still haven't touched the threshold of sword intent, yet these people younger than me are all grasping the realm of intent one by one. It seems I'll have to practice hard when I get back, or I'll really disgrace the Mount Hua Sect.
If Shangguan Qinxiu had broken through to fist intent during our spar, I'd probably be in an even more miserable state. I'd better go back and rest for a bit—I'm also quite curious just how strong the top three of the tournament really are." Ji Yunsheng and the others were invited by everyone to drink tea and discuss the morning's matches.
